| Norwegian Climate |
|
Despite its perception as being a cold country you may be suprised to find Norway has so much sun and hot summer weather, particularly around the southern coast, a favourite area for locals to take a seaside holiday, Norwegian style. In general Norway has a temperate climate thanks to the Gulf Stream which flows along the coast. The interior highlands have an Arctic type of climate in winter with snow, strong winds and severe frosts, but during fine summer spells the daytime temperatures can rise above 86°F (30°C) with long hours of sunshine. By contrast, the coastal areas have comparatively mild winter conditions. Gales, rain and cloud are likely along the west coast, particularly in winter, and the rainfall is frequent and heavy. The lowland area around Oslo is the driest and warmest part of the country in summer, and the south coast from Oslo down to Kristiansand enjoys long sunny days from May through to late August. |
